It's unthinkable except I wouldn't be surprised to read an RNS along the lines of "in order to pursue other opportunities the BOD is planning to issue another billion shares @ 4p". Definitely NOT in the interests of current shareholders! First things first or lose all credibility!

I'm not the only one suffering from paranoia: " the only way is to get rid of pesky shareholders ! How is the question?"

Hopefully, we've passed that stage and I'm hoping the major shareholders will be doing a deal at the best possible price which will benefit the minor shareholders too. Price of the SP makes zero difference but anyone with any sense would want to hold at least 1,000 shares in ZIOC and I said this years ago! So I got my timing wrong? WTFDIK? Last night I watched Heston Blumenthal on BBC2 and it was painful viewing. At least he survived - what about the poor woman who killed herself after begging a Mental Health Crisis Unit for help and being told "Go away or we'll call the police".

Lanstead has cast a cloud over the SP for a long time except, not that long ago, the SP was in ORR's favour! And yes, Lanstead would do far better by holding onto their remaining shares in anticipation of a sharp re-rate. I suspect computer says no. Bonkers! If MTL are the new GGP then taking over ORR would only enhance their prospects - I don't see geography being a problem.

what an ****zole you are! don't you think all of us long-suffering shareholders have already consigned our shares to the bottom drawer?

however big it is?

not to mention "or worse, diluting us to even more meaningful positions than most here already hold." makes no sense at all.

try getting off your high horse and reviewing the rubbish you write before posting!

Increased my holding by 11% - bought 494, 189 shares @ 0.21p which is incredibly cheap.

So far there's no sign of investors anticipating Lanstead's departure apart from me who paid too much on Friday.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think.

On the spectrum covers a multitude of fins. Andy Kershaw claimed not to have an off switch and he was his own worst enemy ending up in prison because he couldn't let go/accept change. Other Aspies invest in ZIOC and hope for a miracle.

Nobody is interested!

"a property in an unfashionable area of Suffolk" means just up the road from USAF Lakenheath but I think we can assume that the whole of East Anglia will suffer in the event of war. Meanwhile, I'll be happy to watch the wildlife.

What difference would it make if the SP were 18p instead of 8p? I suppose a few shareholders would've banked their profits regardless of future stratospheric gains but most of us would still be sitting here waiting for a bus. Route 300 would be good! Add a p to 300 if you lack imagination. That's 50% more than extrader's hoping for so you're better off believing in beardozer! Can't stop laughing! Just moved on from two bottles of wine to a bottle of Black Fox cider (£2.95 or 3 for £6.50 at Sainsburys). And I've bunged Sonora Dinamita into the CD player - the music might be almost 40 years old but it still cheers me up. Any ZIOC investors who are into Oi will want to buy Evermore by Lion's Law but you can hear for free on youtube. Come on ZIOC, please stop me regressing even further...

It's so depressing looking at properties not knowing whether or not they're affordable depending on my Zanaga jackpot. Obviously, a nice problem to have but I've waited many years for my jackpot. Currently keen on a property in an unfashionable area of Suffolk which requires a meagre 116p for my Zanaga shares. Surely bargain basement territory but it would enable me to get on with the rest of my short life and build my classic car collection as there's garaging for 4 cars. A FIAT Panda 4x4 Antarctica edition will be my first buy. Then a Lancia and possibly a Bentley except I'm very wary of supercars where the engine has to come out in order to change a bulb. Sarcasm meter is on 10 as I type this but I'm not very wide of the marque.

The SP keeps falling on not much volume. How much is a goldmine worth? Surely a lot more than the current Mkt. Cap. but WTFDIK?

"Knowing who to read is vital" but beware of confirmation bias!

"Also I Know Martin very well, so that helps too." See above and why not add "and I have access to the executive washroom" while you're about it?

Or, at least, the Oriole canteen? Agreed, the bullish case certainly lines up here yet the sunny uplands are always over the horizon. Would more Director buys help? Or maybe quantifying "undervalued" would put a rocket up the SP? Or is that type of speculation by the company not allowed?

Tim Livesey's MTL hit a new 52 week high today - now worth £286m. Taking over ORR would be peanuts to them so why not pounce now while ORR is in the doldrums? An all-share offer would be acceptable to me: how about 1 share in MTL for every 10 shares in ORR? MTL would then become the new GGP.

I sincerely hope 0.18 isn't possible or I'll be down 25% on the shares I bought last Friday! Anyway, I'm not sure charts work with AIM shares. All these amazing drill results yet the SP is where it is. Interestingly, if ORR is the next GGP we can look forward to a 276-bagger from here which would mean an SP of 58p.

Does the SP make any difference to the eventual outcome? I'm 99% sure my investment in ZIOC will not end as I envisage - it will be much messier - but, ideally, a predator will pounce overnight and one bright morning we will awaken to find the shares suspended with a takeover offer the BOD recommend to all shareholders. It will be multiples of the current SP. Investors have had plenty of time to invest in my scenario but they choose not to. We'll see.

Blame LTbeliever! I bailed out after reading his post and banked a 119% profit - it could've been so much more - Grrr!

Yes, Scots Baronial is the kilt-wearer's version of Arts & Crafts. Is anything worn under the kilt? No, it's all in perfect working order! Makes me laugh every time. What annoys me about buying Scottish property is having to offer your best possible price or you lose it! Fantastic for the seller which I would eventually become.

Just increased my holding by 80%. Desperate times require desperate measures. If this isn't the new GGP I don't know what is. Only worry is all the natives nicking the gold! But I would imagine there's enough for everyone. If not, release the hounds!

I'm no expert but there are a lot of share-trading platforms out there which offer "free" trading. In my experience, the tiny traders often pay top price for their shares so the platform is making money but it doesn't matter if the punter also makes a decent return. It's nothing to do with MMs who are also often accused of "holding a share back" which is also nonsense AFAIK but I'd be happy to be corrected.

A while ago KP2 hit 4.40p and the SP collapsed the next day after the good news RNS. This time the good news RNS prompted a rise to 4.40p before the SP collapsed again. And carried on falling. As a shareholder, it's a job to know what to do for the best! What a terrible company to invest in! I'm holding in the hope of a decent takeover offer but what are the chances? At least, long-term, the SP ought to be multiples of where it is now.
